Summary: 5 Stars
It has been six long weeks since Sophomore Jenny Humphrey waved goodbye to Constance Billard and the concrete jungle of Manhattan, New York to brave the wilds of Upstate New York, and the new life that awaited her at the posh Waverly Academy. During those six weeks, however, things have not exactly been a big ball of fun. Quite the opposite, in fact. Jenny has experienced enough drama in those six weeks than most people experience in a lifetime. She instantly made the wrong impression on It Girl Tinsley Carmichael. Promptly found herself in a relationship with the sweet Kentucky-bred Easy Walsh, and then had her heart broken by the same guy in question. Has found herself in a flip-flop friendship with her roommate, Callie Vernon. Managed to form a true bond with the flame-haired Brett Messerschmidt. And now, has claimed the heart of Waverly's most eligible freshman, Julian McCafferty. But nothing could have prepared her for what's to come.
Since the party at Miller farm, which ended up burning down a barn, Dean Marymount refuses to believe that the fire was an accident and is out for blood. The Waverly Campus is full of speculations of who could be the pyro-maniac, and Jenny, unfortunately, seems to be the name on everyone's lips. Sure, she saw Callie and Easy in a compromising position in the barn right before the place went up in flames, but she certainly wouldn't do something as dangerous as burning the place down. But that's what Tinsley would like you to believe. Ever since Jenny managed to steal Julian away from her - unknowingly, of course - Tinsley is determined to get the chesty tenth-grader off-campus, and Callie is more than willing to assist in executing their little plan. That is, if she can remove herself from Easy's side for more than five seconds at a time. Jenny knows that she has to defend herself to the best of her ability, and believes that you have to fight fire with fire. But she's too sweet to point the finger at anyone, no matter how much she'd like to. She simply wants to clear her name and move on. But Tinsley's not having it. And when you're playing with fire...someone is bound to get burned.
Since I turned the last page of UNFORGETTABLE, I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Cecily von Ziegesar's LUCKY; and, I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. LUCKY far exceeded my expectations, and has only made me more eager to read the next release. While the previous IT GIRL books seemed to revolve mainly around one character, LUCKY was slightly different in that it gave each potential It Girl - Tinsley, Jenny, Callie, and Brett - an equal bit of spotlight. No one character dominates LUCKY; and, instead, each female protagonist works with one another to build up a remarkable storyline. The conflicting feelings both Brett Messerschmidt and Kara Whalen are experiencing regarding their newfound "relationship," bring a slight bit of vulnerability and confusion in each character that makes them seem more human; while Callie's new outlook on life since getting back together with Easy makes her appear more healthier, if not a bit nastier. The developing romance between Jenny and Julian is a welcome storyline to the tale. The two are such sweet characters, whose cute - yet quirky - interactions with one another make the reader truly welcome young love. But the most intriguing introduction to the series would have to be the prospect of fresh meat - in the form of incoming students - to the cast list. Fresh meat that is bound to bring about quite a few new...cat fights. You'll find it impossible to put this book down until the last page is turned!

Summary of Lucky (It Girl, Book 5)
Jenny Humphrey has attended some crazy parties at Waverly Academy, but none as hot as the bash at Miller farm, where the barn went up in flames. Literally. So when Dean Marymount announces that someone is going to be expelled, it's every owl for him- and herself.Tensions are rising, rumors are flying, and pretty soon everyone is a suspect. Jenny is worried about her adorable, shaggy-haired new crush, Julian, whose lighter was found at the scene of the crime. Callie is afraid she and Easy will both get kicked out, because they were in the barn-together-when it caught fire. And Tinsley knows she'll take the heat for organizing the wild party in the first place.Luckily she's come up with a way to keep from getting in trouble: by blaming Jenny. Of course.
After all, Waverly's girls always fight fire with fire. But watch out, ladies-in a battle like this, someone's bound to get burned.
